A pair of Chilean bands singing hymns to Satan in Spanish?
SHIT YEAH!
It’s a really easy review here. Black metal and thrash collide and ten solid songs are presented, with a slick cover from Sickness666 I should add.
Miserycore is slightly less thrash, more of a straight black metal, while I find Unholy Force to be the opposite.
Favorite tracks from each is “Preludio destructivo” from Miserycore and “Communion of Death” from Unholy Force.
Get a hold of Morbid Kult and get a copy. It’s great.
8 out of 10.

Israeli extreme metallers SALEM have posted a track from their upcoming Pulverised full-length Playing God And Other Short Stories. Check out “Drums Of The Dead Part 1” on the band’s official MySpace page. More tracks from the record to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

The band’s seventh studio album was recorded at Harold Studios in Israel and mastered by UE Nastasi at the prestigious Sterling Sound in NYC. Playing God And Other Short Stories includes a guest vocal appearance by At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg, (on “The Mark Of The Beast Part 1” and “The Mark Of The Beast Part 2”) as well as a cover of Bob Marley’s “Exodus.”

SATAN’S HOST welcomes back Leviathan Thisiren (AKA Harry Conklin – Jag Panzer/Titan Force) back into the Grotto. The group has upcoming appearances on March 27 at Club Inferno at PT’s in Denver, Colorado, and at the Keep It True festival in Koenigshofen, Germany on April 23. Due to the large cult following for the 1986 debut album Metal From Hell and 1987 bootlegged unreleased Midnight Wind, virtuoso guitarist and founder Patrick Evil states, “The idea for a reunion with Harry has been building up for a number of years. I felt that this was the right time to go ahead with it. Me and Harry have felt that we had unfinished business to attend to, and we’re heading full force!” Along with drummer Anthony Lopez and bassist Margar, the group has been in pre-production for the upcoming release featuring Harry on vocals, scheduled to be released by MORIBUND RECORDS during the summer/fall of 2010. The band is going into Flatline Studio with super-producer Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Martriden) in July.

Power~Purity~Perfection…999, which was released by Moribund last October and was produced by Dave Otero, has been well received around the world and has gained high rank within the metal world, with many outstanding reviews for the effort. “The new material is in the same vein as PPP…999 but a bit more explosive and surprising,” says Anthony Lopez. “We’ve added some very interesting twists to the music and the concept. Pat is a cornucopia of Evil Music, and regardless what has been said or stated in the past, he has always been the stronghold of the music and the lifeforce of Satan’s Host.”

Satan’s Host also has a new DVD, Assault of Evil…666, slated for release on April 13, 2010 via Moribund, which features the Great American Scapegoat tour ’08. Bonus material includes performances from the last two decades and the band’s Samhain 2009 show.
